on blooming
Maybe it’s all this learning. Maybe it’s the writing.
I feel myself expanding, my heart, my soul, my mind.
I feel endless.
Infinity swirls through me, wrapped up in my own mortality.
There are so many things I want to do, so many things I want to embrace,
so many moments, so many people, so many words, images, stories.
She was slightly distracted by the possibilities of life.
A line from a movie I saw more than 20 years ago.
But I have always remembered it, the way it resonated,
the way it defined me.
I am made of possibility.
I have been open, I have been closed, I have been everything in between.
I have blossomed and withered and blossomed again.
I reach for the sun and sink back to the earth, both at the very same time.
I grow and I age, I age as I grow, but it is always there, this yearning,
this stretching towards the light, drinking in, opening.
Each petal peels itself back from my face.
When the last one opens, I will shine.

I have a line from a movie that I’ve carried with me for more than 20 years too!
This is so very beautiful ~ and it really resonates w/me right now because I am watching my mother go through a very difficult process of recovering from drug induced psychosis. I feel more at peace with the overwhelming desire to do so much – BECAUSE I actually can do something. My mother can not.

You shine already. For a person who talks a lot (me) you leave me speechless. Those last two lines….. Whew!!

This is such a beautiful post and the pictures are breathtaking! You have expressed very similar feelings as to where I am in my creative life and life in general. It seems to be a recurring theme as of late for we artists…times are tough and I think we find comfort in our gifts from within. I would love for you to check out my blog entry and see what you think. Many blessings to you on your journey!

I love this — both the flower image and the sentiments expressed…. I am glad that you are in an expansive phase of life right now — a precious reminder to me that my period of transition/incubation will someday lead to another place, which my soul has already created, if my body can just get there…. I remember back some 13 -14 year ago when I was in a similar place of high vibration and you wisely told me how hard it is to sustain that openness, to appreciate it while it lasts…. Just like the ephemeral nature of “bliss,” which dissolves when labeled as such, as the ensuing expectations scare it away…. But perhaps we have both learned a bit since then, and I think it all has to do with letting go of the expectations. Just accepting what is, and enjoying the ride for what it is.

Whew. This just took my breath away for a second; the image, the flow of your words, the way everything you said feels so much like me.

Here’s to blooming & blossoming all over the place.
